used with a Network Supervisor

Catalog 214A401 Slave Unit

Each installation must have a master unit; each

master unit can support two s lave units. Each unit can

annunciate four ATSs. Therefore a master and two

slave units can annunciate up to twelve ATSs. To

annunciate more ATSs, additional masters and slaves

can be added.

ASCO Cata log 214A400, 214A404, a nd 214A401

ATS Annunciators are designed to provide remote

visual status reporting and push button testing of ASCO

automatic transfer switches. Each ATS must have a

Group 1*, 5, 6, or 7 Microprocessor Controller with

A ccessory 72A Serial Communication Interface Option

installed .

*No te: Group 1 Controller must have version 8 or

lower software (dash number on microprocessor).

Serial Communications

Serial communications permits large amounts of information to be processed over a few wires. In the serial communications systems used by ASCO, each

individual device in the system --- automatic transfer switch, b ypass-isolation switch, ATS annunciator, etc. --- has a unique code, or address, thatis

assigned to it through DIP switches in the devices. Acc ording to the established ASCO serial communications rules, or protocol, each ATS annunciator

and/or the network supervisor on the communication link “talks” to all automatic transfer switches and other elements being monitored on the link at

the same time. They all “hear” what is being said, but only the device that is addressed responds.

Sending and receiving requests and commands is done over the same pair of twisted wires linked in a network fashion from one device to another to form

the communication link, or highway. This physical configuration comprises a network in which only the addressed device is permitted to go on line and

respond to an inquiry. With this serial communications system, a minimum number of wires can be used to link the elements together. Without serial

communications,itwouldtakeconsiderablymorewirestoaccomplishthesamething.

INSTALLATION

The ATS Annunciator has been tested and is ready to use.

Installation simply requires mounting, connecting power

and communication wi ring, a nd setting DIP switches. When

unpacking the unit, locate the loose partswhich aresupplied

in a separate kit. The kits contain the following parts:

Master Kit 401091 Slave Kit 401092

label holder labels

& 2 resistors

label holder labels,

2 resistors, & ribbon cable

The Master ATS Annunciator can be readily identified by

the front mounted key switch (to prevent unauthorized

operation). You will find the key taped inside the back

panel. Up to two Slave ATS Annunciators can be mounted

directly above or below the Master. All three ATS Annun-

ciators are then interconnected by means of ribbon cables.

All external wiring for power and serial communication line

connects to the Master ATS Annunciator. Observe the

requirements of the National Electrical Code (especially

Articles 725 and 800) and any local codes when interwiring.

Mounting

An Outline and Installation drawing (JS 387797) is included

in the back of this manual. The two---part enclosure, which

measures 10I wide x 6I high and 2I deep, is designed for

mounting to the standard wall boxes listed on the drawing.

After removing the front cover the hinged circuit board

opens to the right to expose the mounting holes in the base.

Loosen four screws to remove the cover as shown in Figure 1.

Remove four scr ew s and rem ove the face plate. Then remove

the two left standoff s and sw ing the hinged circ u it boar d to the

rig h t as show n in Fig u r e 2. You will find the key taped to the

back panel. Run the power wires (and insulated ground wire)

and comm u nic ation cab l e (twisted pair s) throug h the center

hol e in the back of the enclos ur e, then to the right throug h the

notch in the circuit board. A ttach the ATS Annunciator to the

wall box by using the mounting holes that line up. Swing the

circ u it board clos ed again. Rein stal l the two standoffs and

tighten them secur el y. Reinstal l the face plate with four screw s.

Connecting Slave ATS Annunciators

Connect the Slave ATS Annunciator(s), when used, to the

Master. R emove the adhesive labels from the slotted

openings as shown in Figure 2.

Then run the ribbon cable between ATS Annunciators and

plug each end into the adjacent sockets. Two Slaves may be

connected to one Master either by above and below

arrangement or two below arrangement. See the Outline

and Installation drawing for details.

INSTALLATION (continued)

Power Wiring

The Master ATS Annunciator can be powered by

either an ac or dc source (but not both) as shown on the

Outline and Installation drawing 387797 and in Figure

3. For ac wiring use a C lass 2 bell transformer with a

120 V ac primary and a 16 V ac secondary (12 VA

minimum). Connect the ac wiring to terminals 9 and

10; connect the ground to terminal 1. For dc wiring

connect a 12 or 24 V dc power source (750 ma) to

t e r m i n a l s 7 ( --- ) a n d 8 ( + ) .

To prevent damage do not

energize the circuit at this time.

Communication Wiring

Connect one end of the transmit and receive commu-

nication cable (twisted pairs) to terminals 3 through 6

on the Master ATS Annunciator as shown on the

Outline and Installation drawing 387797 and in Figure

3. Refer to the Daisy Chain and Star configuration

hook up drawings for typical arrangements. Use

communication cable specified in Figure 3. This cable

has two twisted pairs (4 wires) and an overall shield.

All twisted pair shields must be connected to terminal

2 for grounding. The earth ground is connected to

terminal 1 and internally jumpered to terminal 2. Two

resistors are supplied. Connect one resistor (390 Ohm,

1/4 Watt, 5%) between terminals 5 and 6 on Master 1

only. See Figure 3. (The other resistor will be con-

nected at the automatic transfer switch furthest away.)

Two twisted pairs can be connected to the ATS

Annunciator terminal block. Use a separate terminal

block (not supplied) mounted in a separate wall box if

more connections are necessary, as shown in Figure 4.

Networks for Interconnecting ATS Annunciators and ATSs

Refer to Drawing JS 401900 Sheets 1 through 4 for

typical interconnection schemes. The Daisy Chain

configuration utilizes a single run of communication

cable with all of the equipment connected in parallel as

shown on Sheet No. 1. This type of network utilizes the

least amount of cable and is probably the most popular

approach when long line runs are anticipated. Depend-

ing on the de si re d rel ia bil ity of the sys tem , s ome

consideration should be given to the effect of a cable

break. If the cable is broken all ATSs beyond the break

will lose their communication. It should be kept in

mind that annunciator lamps will flash if a disconnec-

tion occurs. Also, a disconnection of the communica-

tions cable will in no way impair the operation of the

automatic transfer switch.

Star networks can be used as an alternate configu-

ration as shown on Sheet No. 2. With this approach,

greater reliability can be achieved because a discon-

nect of the cable between the junction box and the ATS

will only impair one switch.

Depending on location of this equipment it may

sometimes be advantageous to use combinations of

Daisy Chain and Star networks. Typical configurations

are shown on Sheets No. 3 and 4.

Master ATS Annunciato r factory default settings Slave ATS Annunciator factory default settings

Figure 5. DIP switches in Master. Figure 6. DIP switches in Slave.

Before applying power to the ATS Annunciators, the

DIP switches must be set to select the number of Masters

and Slaves, Master A d d ress, and the addresses of each

automatic transfer switch connected. Refer to Figures 5

and 6 for the location of DIP switches. See Charts 1, 2,

3, and 4 for position of actuators for each setting.

Set Number of Masters and Master Address

ASCOBUS I communication protocol supports

single– and multi–master, daisy chain, and star confi-

gurations. Group 7/7A and 5 Controllers can be

connected on the same network. In this case the Group

5 menu item selecting the serial communication baud

rate must be set to x9600.

When more than one Master is being used, one

Master must be selected as the L ead Master. Then the

L ead Master must be told how many other masters

there are. DIP switch S6 shown in Figure 5 on the

Master ATS Annunciator selects how many Masters

are being used (up to seven) and their addresses.

Actuators 1 through 3 set the number of Masters

(Chart 1 ) and actuators 4 through 6 set their addresses

(Chart 2). For example, if only one Master is used,

actuators 1 through 6 should be down (off). If more

than one Master is used, select one as a Lead Master

and s et all other Masters to different address.

To select the ASCOBUS II communication proto-

col, the DIP switches S6 actuators 1,2,3 must be set to

ON position (ATS Annunciator must

be deenergized).

With ASCOBUS II protocol selected, Group 1 and 5

Controllers can be connected on the same network and

the only configuration supported is the daisy chain

configuration with single master annunciator and up to

2 slaves (see drawing 401900). In this case the Group

5 Controller menu selection for the serial communica-

tion baud rate must be set to 9600.

Set Number of Slaves

DIP switch S1 showninFigure6,(ontheleftsideofeach

Slave) selects the number of the Slave (either 1 or 2).

Refer to Chart 3. F or example, if only one Slave is used,

depress the actuators shown in the top figure (setting for

Slave 1). If two Slaves are used, set one to the setting for

Slave 1 and on the othe r Slave depress the actu at ors

showninthelowerfigure(settingforSlave2).

Setting the ATS Address Number

DIP switches S2, S3, S4, and S5 on the ATS Master

(Figu re 5) and Slave Ann u n c iat o rs (Figu re 6) are used to

set the unique address number for each ATS. Up to 32

ATS s can be acc ommo d at ed on a system u tiliz in g three

Masters and five Slaves.

Actuator 1 must be on (up) for each address being used.

Refer to Chart 4 for selecting a unique address number

foreachATS.OneDIPswitchisusedforeachATS.

For example, ATS 1 would use address 00 so set DIP

switch S2 (on the Master) with actuators 2---6 down

(off).ATS2woulduseaddress01sosetDIPswitchS3

(on the Master) with actuator 6 up (on). Remember to

move actuator 1 up (on) for each DIP switch being

used! Refer to Table D at the back of this manual.

ATS Label Holder

The ATS Annunciator is labeled for ATS1, ATS2,

ATS3, and ATS4. Included with each ATS Annunciator

is an adhesive–backed label holder with labels for

AT S 5 --- 1 2 and some blank labels. L abel each ATS

Annunciator with the ATS numbers that are addressed

in it. Fill in Table D at the back of this manual.

SETTING UP THE ATS ANNUNCIATORS

OPERATION

Cata log 214A400, 214A404, and 214A401 ATS

Annunciators communicate with ASCO automatic

transfer switches to report their status. Each automatic

transfer switch is continuously polled and reports its

status back to the ATS Annunciator. Lights on the front

indicate which automatic transfer switches are

connected to the normal source or emergency source.

Source availability is also reported.

In addi tion, the ATS Annunciator s ca n se nd

commands to individual automatic transfer switches

to con tro l their operatio n . A key switch prevents

unauthorized operation. The Transfer Test push button

simulates a normal source outage and transfers the

ind ividu al load to the emergency source, if available.

When the same push button is pressed again, it signals

the automatic transfer switch to retransfer b ack to

normal immediately. A Time Delay Active push button

byp asses any transfer time delay in pro c ess (Feat u re 2B

or 3A). Ligh t s above each push bu t to n indicate that the

automatic transfer switch is in the test mode and in a time

delay mode.
